My Other Half / "Boku no Hanbun" by Maaya Sakamoto(The 9th Song of SSW Album)Enhanced Instinctual Translations and Interpretations (ver 3) by Mumu AlpakaUpdated 28 September 2019
Youtube link
We are not actually friends, nor we can call each other as lovers. #2Born in different timelines, and only now we are about to witness a new beginning.
Right inside of me, lies a place that can’t normally be seen there in which you existed.
In the shades of light and shadows.Nothing else became of importance, and as time goes by we become closer to each other.
My bereaved (lover).with ever so curious looking beautiful eyes.
Its been forever that I was directly connected to you.
I may not know of the actual reason.If you ask why? I believed you already know more about it than I do.
While we were on the journey to search for our other half..both of us met and were matched by an Ancient looking person. #1
Merry around the flower garden, soft scent of it, living in harmony alongside the flora & fauna creatures.Right within that place (in this place), as of how Majestic as it was.. Ironically, that place was never meant to be opened, for just for anyone. #4
It’s like trying to diving right into an illusion, that brings our sights and visions to far away distances.
“Isn’t it like how I already told you (sometime) before?”
Purposely we took the longer path back home.. #3Silently as we just hold hands and walk side by side..
Both of us now walk on the same path and our future starts from now on.
Future (Music & Chours)
Purposely we take the longer path back home.Silently we just walk hand in hand.
Searching we are for our other halves.For the first time, we are actually emerging as our true selves.
I'm not sure why it was like that.but if you ask for a reason, I'm really sure that you already have the answers to it.
Searching we are for our other halves.That we now have become one with our Ancient futuristic selves.
Future (Music & Chours)
Notes
#1: Referring to 'Ano Hito' the person, that similarly looks like the Mei'li de ren..#2: Relationship between the Mei'li de ren with Marianne is always somewhere in between friends and lovers#3: Similarly trying to extend the shared time together#4: I figured out based on the words, its probably was said by Lady Marianne to me. I was still over there 😆 playing around in her private garden.. it doesn't stop me from entering.
Other alternative translations
#Tomodachi ja nai koibito demo nai mada bokura waWe don't really have, that many friends and not even have lovers, that we still are right now..
#Mae fure wa kasuka ni aokuUpon a single touch, you turned blue
#Nagai saka no michi wo shizuka na ketsuraku wo daiteA sight full distant uphill path, walks a silent incomplete-like archangel
DedicationAno Hito's blessings was given to The Mei'li de ren and Lady Marianne. May Peace be upon them, for all eternity.

Song SynopsisThe lyrics carry a poetic and emotional meaning that revolves around themes of connection, longing, self-discovery, and destiny. Here's an interpretation of what the song might mean:The song tells the story of two people who are not yet in a defined relationship (neither friends nor lovers) but feel an inexplicable bond drawing them together. It suggests that they are fated to meet and reconnect, as though they were once part of the same whole, now searching for each other to become complete.The imagery of a "hole" within oneself symbolizes emotional emptiness or incompleteness, while the reference to swallowing light and shadow hints at the depth and complexity of the person's feelings. Despite not knowing the reasons for their connection, they instinctively understand each other, suggesting a profound and almost spiritual bond.The idea of "half I was searching for" represents the concept of soulmates or a destined connection. The past mistakes and unchangeable truths in the form of "clouds and planets" signify obstacles and experiences that shaped them but cannot be undone. The "quiet despair" and "long, sloping path" symbolize life’s challenges, which they endure while moving forward together. Ultimately, the discovery of the missing half allows the narrator to become their true self, emphasizing themes of personal growth and fulfillment through connection. The recurring reference to the future highlights hope and the beginning of a shared journey. It portrays the relationship as something transcendent, rooted in both the past and a promising future. In essence, the song is a metaphorical expression of love, fate, and the transformative power of finding someone who makes you whole.

Interesting.. in the instrumental song of "My other half" song. It gave me access to be able to directly see her, to see lady Marianne when she was in alam barzakh..
It was like a waiting place for her. It was somehow in the same similar place as the drawing of the house. Just that on a much earlier time, and that place is dark and was without light. It was seen like a night time area.
Her small house was there, she often day-dream on her bed side.. I actually saw her face when she was younger. She was at that time also shocked to see me. Like I appeared in front of her bed while she was half awake. Perhaps it was the first time she met me.
Marianne face when she was younger looked plain looking, but to me personally, she was beautiful. I didn't know she was the love of my life at that time.
Thing was, in that place no one was allowed to enter. But she remembered that I was around, playing since I was a young child at her house.
I was like a Mandrake.. like Mumumandrake at that time when I was playing around in her house area. She was helpless to understand what was going on, because to her knowledge no one else is allowed here in her everlasting dreamworld.
Lady Marianne has this small vegetable farm in front of her house, that was connected to a small lake just a few steps away. The pathway to her house was somehow filled with a young forest scenery.
Lady Marianne at that time, wears a black cloth, her hair was straight and also black. She also looked like the most depressed person ever alive. She never smiled. She never did move away from that place, she just continue to live there all alone.
There was electric but she doesn't understand where the source comes from. There is also water source, and heat. Fruits were also given to her from time to time, which she suspect were given to her by Angels that can't normally be seen with normal eyes.
And there was me. At that time a curious child, playing around in her garden, pulling out her vegetables, her flowers, running around her house, without saying anything (I'm a very silent child, always thinking, always thinking, always thinking, always thinking)
Lady Marianne was so weird out at that time, because some time of the day I disappeared, and reappeared out of nowhere. Also similarly like a Mandrake.
Often we talked to each other, but its like a conversation between an adult and child. Lady Marianne said to me that place she was in was "A gathering point of where all memories were.." and she looked at me and pondered, if I was a memory to her?
She has this really-really strange look at her face when it comes to look directly at me. LOL.
I was like confused myself, I was not sure why I was so attached to this place.We often play in her small swing just next to her house for two people, as we relax and enjoy the cold breezy winds and scenery.
Lady Marianne thought I was eccentric.
Much later she understands that I was still alive back on old earth, and my thoughts entered her "waiting place" when I was in really deep sleep. Lady Marianne also explained this to me, when I got a bit older.
We hang out almost every other day. Grew up together, tell stories to each other. She must have been my oldest girlfriend, with at least a bit over 30 years of memories intact.
However, going in and out from the dreamworld is where the memories were loss in transactions. Just that lady Marianne also noticed this when I could not remember much sometimes, she thought if it was a condition of some sort.
At times, she noticed I will say somethings that will happen in the future. She was in it too. At that time she felt a sudden fear in her heart.
Lady Marianne then thought of a way for me to preserve my memories with her. Only I would gain back those memories. It was also her memories as well.She also knows about me being a introvert and everything. LOL.
Just in recent years, was more onto me getting back my lost memories and sync with all my selves from the distant future and past.
Lady Marianne was mapping something, while she noticed something in all of those things I have mentioned to her, personally to her over the time we have met.
